A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.
2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes
If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.
3. Content must be relevant
Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.
4. No racism / hatespeech
No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.
5. No politics
We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.
6. No seriousposting
We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.
7. No classified material
Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.
8. Source artwork
If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.
9. No low-effort posts
No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.
10. Don't get us banned
No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
11. No misinformation
NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.

I always ask myself this.
Yes but no need to click it as long as you click the majority of the tank
In technical terms it is a tank.
We are refusing to call it a tank I assume because of some organizational/order of battle reason. Its not a tank, its an infantry fire support weapon or whatever the fuck.
It's a tank. It's not a main battle tank.
Technically, anything hollow can be used as a tank. Just not the type you use in combat.
Some kind of armor is where it's at.
It only counts as a tank if it can deliver a pineapple unscathed to the center of enemy territory.
An IFV/AFV is designed to make it very difficult for an enemy to bring a pineapple unscathed to the center of your territory, presenting a dynamic defensive capacity that takes concentrated antiarmor capability to neutralize or deny.
These things are almost the same but the differences end up mattering a whole lot... but sometimes they don't. The movement and precise location of the line between "IFV/AFV" and "MBT" is a question answered in conversations about geopolitics, shipping capacity, railways (is it really a tank if you can move it with an airplane? not just the tank but everything else you need with it) and access to Anti-Pineapple equipment. Answers are defined in terms of "theaters" of war.
If the opposing infantry goes "holy shit, they brought a tank!" - it's a tank.
